Denver Nuggets vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

Prediction published on 01/12/2025, 00:42  by Geoffrey Ejiga | Modified on 01/12/2025 at 00:49 in NBA Predictions

Nikola Jokic is our man for the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks game as they clash for the first time this season. For reasons we’ll explain in this match prediction, we think that backing the Joker to make at least 2 threes is the safer and sharper bet.

This might very well be a blowout game for the Nuggets, so Jokic might just play around 25 minutes or a little over. In that scenario, we don't see him clearing his points, rebounds, and assists line for this game, but his chances of making at least two 3PM are different.

Jokic has averaged 2.1 threes made this season, and he's been very efficient with the few he's taken. Nikola has now scored six of the last seven threes he has attempted, and has won this bet in four of his last five games. In fact, he went one for one in the only game where he lost this bet in that span.

What's more, in his last 15 games, Jokic has cleared two 3PM in 11 games, which is very impressive considering that this isn't his strongest suit. As for his history against the Mavs, the story is also quite interesting. He's only won this bet in two of his last four games against the Mavs, but in those two games, he went 100% from threes.
